Hi

Yes in her younger days.. My mum always called her Mater and her father Pater. I have very fond memories of her, as I would stay in Cork on Glasheen Road. Great sense of humor, and a very quick and sharp tongue at times.. Sharp card player I recall as she thought me how to play poker.

Hi

Yes this is correct. William Hobbs married to Anna Cregan. They had two daughters Shelia and Monica (Mona)  (my mother) 3 sons Sean Eddie and Liam.

It must've have been very challenging times then as Tim Hobbs was interred in Cork jail for his involvement in an Active Service unit of the Anti Treaty side of the Civil War. My Grandmother Anna Cregans brother Eddie Cregan was a Commandant in the regular army and was killed in an ambush by an Anti Treaty Irregulars in 1922.
